Who is the Roaming Ranger?

My name is Alex Emert, and as my nickname would imply I am a real ranger. I have spent several seasons working for the National and State Parks. My passion is introducing people to the wonders of the natural world.

It was almost like I was born for this job. Raised in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania I was camping before I was able to walk. I worked my way up through the ranks of the Boy Scouts, eventually becoming an Eagle Scout.

Later when I was about done with college I was pondering my future. I had obtained a biology degree (plus a degree in chemistry and a computer science minor. Hey I was ambitious!), but I had realized that working in a lab would kill me. Then I had a revelation. I would put my old scouting skills to use and become a park ranger. Thus the Roaming Ranger was born.
